It’s that time of year: When publications and media sites start ranking NBA players and NBA players start getting mad about it. Sports Illustrated is one of the first to publish their rankings this year, with players 100 through 50 of their top 100 (as ranked by Ben Golliver and Rob Mahoney) hitting the web this morning.
And guess what? There are three Toronto Raptors sprinkled in the bottom 50 here: Fred VanVleet (94), Serge Ibaka (78) and Jonas Valancuinas (63). And there isn’t even really anything to get mad about!
